    Left History 8.1 77 "An Unholy Alliance": Irish-Americans and the Political Construction of Whiteness in Memphis, Tennessee, 1866-1879 Brian D. Page "Why this cry of nationality and race?" the Memphis Daily Appeal lamented, as the city prepared for the impending municipal election to occur on 2 January, 1874. Despite Redemption in Tennessee in 1870, Memphis conservatives were unable to control the local political scene. A cross-racial alliance composed of voting constituents from the Irish and African American, and to some extent German, communities formed a powerful voting bloc dictating city elections and, therefore, threatening supremacy of the native elite. As a result, whiteness emerged as a political battleground for the local Democratic Party. This article seeks to contribute to the evolving scholarship known as "whiteness studies," which seeks to objectify whiteness and makes much more apparent the social construction of a white identity. By tracing voting behavior in Memphis, local politics demonstrates the need to confront race as a power relationship. In Memphis, Irish immigrants and Irish Americans were conflicted between their racial identity of whiteness versus their worlung class identity as they sought to extend political power garnered during the Civil War and Reconstruction. As a result, white political leaders and the conservative press were forced to consid- er a new definition of whiteness that included Irish Americans, in order to cement the economic and social dominance of the native, elite white popula- tion. Whiteness was politically constructed to the extent it solidified white con- trol versus the abhorrent alternative of black domination and working class sol- idarity.

  • A Lost World: Sallie Robinson, the Civil Rights Cases, and Missing Narratives of Slavery in the Supreme Court's Reconstruction Jurisprudence
    A Lost World: Sallie Robinson, the Civil Rights Cases, and Missing Narratives of Slavery in the Supreme Court's Reconstruction Jurisprudence ADERSON BELLEGARDE FRANCË OIS* ªIt is the sound of vanishingÐthe music as it plays itself to silence, the train as it travels away, a voice left on magnetic tape.º1 The Supreme Court tells stories about who and what we areÐthe sort of ªknowledge about [the] past that is shared, mutually acknowledged and re- inforced by a collectivity.º2 The Court is uniquely suited for this role: not just because of the moral authority it brings to the task of adjudication, and not just because of the rituals it uses for its decisionmaking, but also because the very act of telling and retelling in issuing decisions results in layers of these stories being deposited on and shaping constitutional doc- trine. In time, and with each iterationÐlike sandy water ¯owing over sedi- mentary rockÐthese stories settle, gather together, harden, and become part of constitutional topographyÐsheer repetition makes them rei®ed. These stories, a mix of fact and aspiration, a mingling of doctrine and meta- phors, rubbed smooth of contradictions, translated for public consumption, even when hotly contested in the caverns of academia, keep us bound to a ªconscious community of memory,º3Ða pact about the larger lessons to be derived from our past. There is a federalism story about how the Founders' experience with a distant, indifferent king led them to set up a government with de®ned limited federal power; a free-speech story about how our col- lective ability to think and speak freely contributes to an open marketplace of ideas; and a right-to-bear-arms story about how the Second Amendment serves as a bulwark against government tyranny.

  • Race, Place, and Community Politics After the Civil War
    Local Matters: Race, Place, and Community Politics after the Civil War Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Daniel Page Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Stephanie J. Shaw, Advisor Kenneth W. Goings, Co-Advisor Stephen G. Hall Copyright by Brian Daniel Page 2009 Abstract This study examines how a seemingly disparate population of rural migrants was able to incorporate itself into the political process and elevate community concerns to the center of political discourse after the Civil War. Too often scholars pay little attention to the local concerns and historical processes that determined not only how former slaves conducted themselves in the political arena, but also how their goals and aspirations changed over time. Surrounded by majority slaveholding counties in the Mid-South, Memphis provides an opportunity to study the grassroots political mobilization of former slaves. Beginning with an examination of the wartime migrations of enslaved men and women in the Mississippi River Valley to Memphis, Tennessee, this study identifies the cooperative strategies black migrants utilized to express their freedom, forge new bonds of fellowship, and establish a sense of community in their new surroundings. In order to understand how the concerns of former slaves became a matter of public interest, I trace the movements and daily interactions of members of social networks within black neighborhoods to demonstrate how socialization and civic life influenced the contours of popular politics. While black political leaders focused on civil rights and the transformation of the social order, former slaves used politics to experience freedom and express their ii desire for self-determination in ways that demonstrated their level of attachment to their community.

  • When the Rule of Law Breaks Down: Implications of the 1866 Memphis Massacre for the Passage of the Fourteenth Amendment
    WHEN THE RULE OF LAW BREAKS DOWN: IMPLICATIONS OF THE 1866 MEMPHIS MASSACRE FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT HON. BERNICE BOUIE DONALD ABSTRACT Scholars typically discuss the rule of law as an abstract concept, rather than a practical reality susceptible to failure. The Memphis Massacre of 1866 provides a valuable case study in the failure of foundational principles of the rule of law. After the Civil War, in Memphis, Tennessee, there was a massive influx of former slaves, coterminous with the State stripping former Confederates of their right to hold office. In May 1866, racial terror enfolded the city, and for three days police and local officials led a massacre of dozens of African-American men, women, and children. The city was set ablaze, resulting in mass burning of homes, schools, churches, and businesses; and rapes, beatings, and robberies of African Americans. The Memphis Massacre was one of many race riots that occurred in the Reconstruction South, precipitated in part by the radical developments intended to promote equal citizenship following the Civil War, the resistance of white southerners, and change in the social order. Yet, the local response wholly failed to provide any criminal or civil remedies to the victims of the massacre. In fact, no local action was ever taken to bring those responsible to justice for the heinous acts committed. The perpetrators of racial violence themselves believed that their actions were enforcing the rule of law—fueled by a perception that the new freedoms and economic liberty of freedmen were contrary to the Constitution. In considering the rule of law, this Article utilizes the Memphis Massacre as a case study to examine how individuals interpret, understand, and abide by the substantive application of formal law and procedure.
